Executioner caspase-3 and caspase-7 are functionally distinct proteases [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
Members of the caspase family of cysteine proteases play central roles in coordinating the stereotypical events that occur during apoptosis. Because the major executioner caspases, caspase-3 and caspase-7, exhibit almost indistinguishable activity toward certain synthetic peptide substrates, this has led to the widespread view that these ...

Substrate and Inhibitor-induced Dimerization and Cooperativity in Caspase-1 but Not Caspase-3 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Caspases are intracellular cysteine-class proteases with aspartate specificity that is critical for driving processes as diverse as the innate immune response and apoptosis, exemplified by caspase-1 and caspase-3, respectively. Interestingly, caspase-1 cleaves far fewer cellular substrates than caspase-3 and also shows strong positive cooperativity ...

Beneficial role of allicin from garlic in cervical cancer [PDF]

, 2008
Introduction: Cervical cancer remains a global health concern for females. Thus, in order to control cervical cancer, attempts are being made by researchers globally to somehow induce programmed cell death in the said cancerous cells.

FADD, Caspase-3, and Caspase-8 and Incidence of Coronary Events [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2017
Objective— To investigate the relationship between 3 markers of apoptosis, that is, FADD (Fas-associated death domain–containing protein), caspase-3, and caspase-8, and incidence of coronary events (CEs) in a population-based cohort study.

Heat-shock pretreatment inhibits sorbitol-induced apoptosis in K562, U937 and HeLa cells. [PDF]

, 2009
The aim of this study was to determine whether heat-shock pretreatment exerted a protective effect against sorbitol-induced apoptotic cell death in K562, U937 and HeLa cell lines and whether such protection was associated with a decreased cytochrome c

Characterization of Canine Caspase-3

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2004
The canine caspase-3 gene was cloned and sequenced. The canine caspase-3 cDNA clone was 1473 base pairs in length and encoded 277 amino acids. The predicted amino acid sequence showed 88.4%, 88.0%, 85.9%, 65.9% and 60.6% homology with that of human, pig, mouse, chicken and zebra fish caspase-3, respectively.

Pro-caspase-3 Is a Major Physiologic Target of Caspase-8 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
The apoptotic signal triggered by ligation of members of the death receptor family is promoted by sequential activation of caspase zymogens. We show here that in a purified system, the initiator caspases-8 and -10 directly process the executioner pro-caspase-3 with activation rates (kcat/Km) of 8.7 x 10(5) and 2.8 x 10(5) M-1 s-1, respectively.

Analysis Expression of ZIP1 and Caspase-3 Protein in Adenocarsinoma of the Prostate [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Carcinogenesis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate occurs due to dysregulation of zinc level within the cells. Intracellular zinc molecules influx is regulated by a transporter protein ZIP1, whose non-presence is predicted to inhibit apoptosis,

Clinical translation of [18F]ICMT-11 for measuring chemotherapy-induced caspase 3/7 activation in breast and lung cancer [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Effective anticancer therapy is thought to involve induction of tumour cell death through apoptosis and/or necrosis. [18F]ICMT-11, an isatin sulfonamide caspase-3/7-specific radiotracer, has been developed for PET imaging and shown to have ...
